Youve been paying too much in OZ for years and the excuse has always been thats its an island and difficult to get to ( isnt that the excuse for every rip off we have?).. its all bullshit... you pay too much cos youre prepared to pay too much.
Some of my machines are worth less than i paid for them and some more.. its all relative.
The old " i bought for X so i must get X or more back" is crap... a fool and his money and all that.
They are just games and if you have $$ to splurge then well done you... if you dont then no harm done.. get a cheaper title or dont buy.
All markets go up and down and people just dont have lots of expendable cash anymore.. was a point back there when people lost the value of the $$... bhorrowing against equity to purchase flat screens etc... sheer madness.
Well the free money dried up thank god and most are all too aware how hard it is to get the $$ in and that makes them think twice about letting it go again.
On the plus side.. if you sell a title for less, chances are the next one you pick up will be sold for less also.... roundabouts and swings im afraid
